Send Flowers to Mechelen, Belgium

Mechelen lies on the river Dijle between Brussels and Antwerp, and the unfinished tower of St Rumbold's Cathedral can be seen from far across the flat countryside. The city is the seat of the Archbishop of Mechelen-Brussels and is home to a renowned carillon school, so bells are part of daily life. Locals are nicknamed Maneblussers, moon extinguishers, after the night they are said to have mistaken moonlight on the tower for a fire.

Quick trains in both directions have made Mechelen popular with young families and commuters. Bouquets go to restored houses near the Grote Markt and the Vismarkt, to newer apartments along the water and to the districts of Nekkerspoel, Battel, Muizen, Hombeek and Walem. Addresses are in Dutch, with box numbers for flats.

To send flowers to Mechelen, complete your order before midnight local time. A florist will deliver the next day, Monday to Saturday. Sunday and public holiday delivery is not available, so for a Sunday birthday choose the Saturday.
